Mindy Ho, MD, FACS, MBA
Founder, Board-certified Surgeon, Certified Coach
Hello! I'm Dr. Mindy. I founded RESOURCE MD with the vision to positively impact the current and future culture of healthcare - exceptional care I would want for my family members and closest friends.
My "Why"?
I have dedicated my professional career to caring for patients in the Midwest, beginning with medical school education at Indiana University and residency training at University of Illinois Chicago. Beyond my technical expertise as a surgeon, I've always believed that the ability to connect with people is central to building trust, easing anxiety and improving outcomes.
As healthcare has evolved, like many of my colleagues, I found the joy of practicing corporate medicine gradually fading. Recognizing that, I took a step back. My sabbatical became a breath of fresh air -- an opportunity to rediscover my purpose, recommit to healthcare and become a certified coach serving physicians.
I now return to medicine in a renewed role: as a patient advocate, a physician leader, and champion for physician well-being. I practice medicine intentionally with the doctor-patient relationship at the core and I believe that when physicians are excited to go to work, their patients experience better care and outcomes. I bring that belief to life every day -- in my clinical practice, my coaching and my consulting work -- helping others see that it is possible to thrive as the kind of doctor we'd want for our own loved ones while being physically, mentally and emotionally present for the meaningful parts of life away from medicine. ​
Vision Statement
We are committed to bringing patients, physicians, and organizations together in pursuit of a shared goal: better health for all and sustainable healthcare of the future. By putting the 'care' back in healthCARE, we foster collaboration, compassion, and a more human-centered approach.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to empower patients, healthcare professionals and organizations to align with their unique values and embrace the vital roles they each play in delivering and receiving meaningful and effective care
Core Values
Individual autonomy. There are guiding principles both in medicine and in life. A person’s health needs are specific to their situations and their values (e.g. family, social, financial, professional, emotional, etc). By honoring choice, we empower patients to take an active role in their care with dignity and confidence while making an informed decision
​
Wellness is an important part of medicine. True healthcare goes beyond treating illnesses. By integrating physical, mental, and emotional well-being into the foundation of medicine, we empower individuals to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
​
Empathy is at the heart of meaningful care and connection. Through active listening, understanding and value for each person's experience, we build on a foundation of trust and respect.
​
Collaboration. Healthcare is a team sport that requires engaged participation from individual patients, healthcare professionals and organizations that foster those relationships
​
Authenticity. By embracing honesty, individuality and vulnerability and showing up as our true selves, we foster a culture where people feel safe, seen and empowered to grow
